VLC crashes when encoding directshow at lower quality audio

Postby branco » 06 Mar 2012 19:51

I was recording my playthrough of Lord of The Rings Online using directshow with the following encoding options : instant encoding , mp4 , video quality 800kbps , audio quality 2 channels , 128kbps 44100 samples and I managed to record one hour with no crash but of low video quality . When I lowered the audio quality to 1 channel , 64kbps , 11025 samples the recording crashes I belive when the game does some loading and usually after 2 minutes of running around in the game world . VLC is still active and can do playback of other files , but it corrupts the video recorded in that sesion . When closing vlc the window closes but the vlc process is still active , doing 1 core worth of computations and with 300 MB of memory . I have to close it in task manager .

I use the following 2 programs to capture video and audio from the windows desktop and bring them to vlc as input to the mp4 encoder : https://github.com/rdp/virtual-audio-ca ... ber-device , https://github.com/rdp/screen-capture-r ... ndows-free . Since the crash happens when lowering the quality of the output encoding there might not be any problem with these 2 programs but instead with the encoder .

I made a bug report on github as well : https://github.com/rdp/screen-capture-r ... e/issues/8 .
I also have a log of my last encoding session that ended in a crash : https://gist.github.com/1984842 .

I would apreciate if anyone familiar with the vlc mp4 encoder could look into this .
